Sorting through some old photos I found this picture taken in Scotland in May 2008. Long before I was seriously interested in Moths, but still taken by its beauty. Can anyone help with ID please?  |

The Magpie Moth actually pupates above ground which is not the usual as Moths predominately pupate underground and Butterflies pupate above ground but this is one of the exceptions. I actually witnessed this Moth emerging from it's cocoon underneath my window frame several years ago so know it to be true.
